Would Put Nothing in His Way.

"That was an excellent sermon /
heard you preach, on Sunday" said a
gentleman to a clergyman, as they
shook hands.
"Thank you, replied the preacher.
"To which one do you refer?"
"The one about laying up treasures
in heaven"
ooh, yes"
"But do you think" said the gentle
man, that the congregation will take
the advice you gave them?"
Il fear," returned the pastor, that as
a whole they will not. But you must
not think they do not believe in laying
up treasures in heaven. They known il
is the right thing to do"
What evidence have you of it?"
Every conclusive evidence. They are
talking of reducing my salary. Pitts

The Love and Respect Of Children.

If mothers could only realize what
critical period their children are pass
ing through from tho third to the sixth
year, they would exercise more than
ordinary care during that time. Not
only physically but mentally and NOR
ally are they undergoing a change for
better or worse, according to the care
and attention they receive from their
mothers and fathers. A father is no
more exempt from certain duties to-
ward his offspring than mother. He
should always bear In MAD that his as
sistance in the control of the children is
of more value to his tired wife than the
presentation to her of costly gift. 1t
is at this time that children begin to
notice papas and mammals bearing to-
ward one another; let this always be
one of perfect courtesy and respect.
Nothing so quickly destroys respect for
parents as constant pickering in the
presence of their children. The first
thing child should be taught is re-
spect for his parents and elders; affec-
ton comes naturally with most chill
dren, and is the most valuable aid in
gaining control of their actions; next to
that is respect; without it very little
can.be accomplished for the chIld's well
fare. Parents should bear in mind that
children lose respect very soon on hear
ing them disagree; using bitter, cutting
words to each other. This is inhicting
the first actual pain these baby hearts
have been called upon to bear. In the
presence of this the child experiences
conflicting emotions, which ends in
pity for one parent and contempt for
the other. o, parent, pause, consider,
before you lose this hold on the little
being who has heretofore considered
you perfect. Let there be unanimity
of purpose il -h, word, and deed be-
fore these little creatures. who are so
susceptible to every impression, if you
would preserve their love and respect.

A True Dog Story from Ohio.

In May, 1850, Phineas Jarney moved
from Lewiston, Logan County, Ohio,
to Richland County, Wis, going all the
way by wagon, through Fort Wayne
and Northern Indiana. He took with
him an old yellow hound of the female
persuasion, which was purchased from
Mr.. Smith, of Lewiston. Arrived in
Richland County, he settled down in
house of Mr.. Janneys brother. in a
week or two the hound disappeared
and they supposed she had been killed.
Some two or three months afterward a
letter was received from Peter Stay
mate, of Belefontaine, saying that he
had been down to Lewiston to see
Smith, the former OVER of the hound.
and there was the oh! dog in good
health aud spirits. Size had made the
journey of about 900 miles. having
passed over it on the way west, and, of
course, remembering the track, as dogs
so easily do. One of the part es who
made the Journey west with the sagac-
ious animal is still living in Springfield

The Effects of Mental Exhaustion.

Many diseases, especially those OF the ner-
vous system, are the products OF daily renewed
mental exhaustion. Business avocations often
involve an amount OF mental wear and tear very
prejudicinl to physical health, and the profess
sions, If arduously pursued, are no less destruc-

English and French Authors.

The number OF English noblemen

people would surprise democrat in

men who have been so loved and trust.
ed? Where are the French equivalents
for Lord Harrington and Lord Spencer?
What Frenchman has filled anything
like the position of Earl Russell? Even
amongst conservatives, where is the
French conservative grandee who has
enjoyed half the popular respect that
surrounded Edward, Earl of Derby?
The heir to great dukedom can go
down to the English manufacturing
towns and speak to the people in as
plain and straightforward manner as
If he were one of themselves; he has
not been spoiled by the Injuries of
Chatsworth and Hardwicke Hall, but
is still cool and steady Englishman of
business, with n powerful reserve of
genuine English independence in his
nature. Notwithstanding all the pride
and all the frigidity that are attributed
by foreigners to the English character;
notwithstanding all the vastness of the
gulf which. according to the English
y
between class and class, it is undeni-
able that some representatives of the
upper classes in England know how to
cast bridge over the gulf, and are
able to establish community of senti-
ment between themselves and their
electors, and common understanding
even as to the details of legislation,
that are unknown between the French
aristocrats and the provincial urban
democracies. L leave Paris out of the
question, as there it is useless for any
one with aristocratic sentiments TO ask
for the suffrages of the people.
And yet, in spite of its incapacity for
leadership in a democratic age, think
the French aristocracy has, on one or
two points, preserved more of the pure
ly aristocIatic Gas distinguished from
the plutocratic) sentiment than the
British. To become poor, even moder-
ately poor. in England, is to lose caste /;
to become rich is TO acquire caste; and
this is the sign that the aristocratic
sentiment about ancestry has given
place to the plutocratic sentiment about
wealth. Those who really belong to
the French noblesse are in no danger
of losing their birthright of aristocratic
consideration for any degree of poverty
that does not make decent appear
ance impossible, and that does not COM
pei them to engage in some money
earning occupation. The gentry and
their descendants have no prejudice
against decent aristo ratio poverty, but
they have the genuine aristocratic
prejudice against work. They despise
all wealth that is not inherited, and
value only the results of the labors of
the dead. Even literature and the fine
arts become degrading as soon as they
are lucrative, sentiment quite opposed
to the general modern opinion of
France. All the forms of trade are
despicable for aristocrats, and when
they hear of family that has been IN
trade they say, with an air of genteel
ignorence about the nature OF the BUSH
ness: Ills ont vendu quelque chose. y

To Tell the Age OF Eggs.

We recommend the following process,
which has been known for some time,
but has been forgotten, for finding out
the age of eggs and distinguishing
those that are fresh from those that are
not. This method is based upon the
decrease in the density of eggs as they
grow old:
Dissolve two ounces of salt in pint
of water. When fresh laid egg is
placed in this solution it will descend
to the bottom of the vessel, while one
that has been laid on the day previous
will not quite reach the bottom.
If the egg be three days old it will
swim in the liquid, and if it is more
than three days old it will float on the
surface, and project above the latter
more and more in proportion as it is
older. Chicago Ne,Cs.

A NEW use has been discovered for
the musical instrument of torture called
the bagpipes. Spanish soldier was
brought to the military hospital at
Havana in state of catalepsy; and for
fifteen months he showed no sign of
improving health. At last the doctors
ordered the bagpipes to be played near
his bed, whereupon the man promptly
recovered consciousness, and is now

as to render the writing perfectly legi-

ing the paper with water, and then
passing over the lines brush which
has been wet in solution of sulphide
of ammonia. The writing will imme-

this color, in the case of parchment,
